@Ryze the reason i haven't bought a Wii is because of the motion controls. i don't mind the SD graphics but motion controls are a big no for me.

I always thought stuff like this was a MASSIVE overreaction. Its not like you have to stand in front of the TV and jump around. Having played Zelda TP, SMG 1 and 2, NSMBWii, MP trilogy and DKCR I can easily say that pretty much all of the "motion controls" stuff boils down to flicking your wrist every now and then. Thats it.

Seems like people got suckered into avoiding the system by watching Wii Play ads.

At least hating it for having shitty graphics is an understandable line of thought.

If your slightly off the base unit, it doesn't register any commands. I imagine them testing it right in front on an Xbox, yep it works, manufacture these bad boys. There is no way they tested this properly.

It's only a tenner now but I'm still annoyed that it is so unresponsive.

If you don't have direct line of sight to the Xbox, even a slight angle makes it useless. Don't buy one.

For what it's worth, my old style one is fine. Works like you'd expect a remote to work. That new one does look quite nice and fits better with other remotes, to the point I have to admit I was tempted, but not anymore given it's that bad.

Ha, yeah the PS3's remote is really fucking annoying. It's a good job the beep it makes when it turns on is so shrill or there would have been many occasions I'd have had it on all day without noticing.

The blue dragon days were the days you were at the peak of your single format fanboy psychosis. You went out your way to diss the 360 back then. That makes you equal tard.

You've only just got a gaming PC 2 days ago whilst everyone else has been PC gaming since the 90s and now you're trying to act like a PC elitist...good luck playing Forza Horizon and Halo 4 on your new rig.
